<head>Gary Graffman</head><p><q> A pianist to be ranked with the great of our time</q>... Christian Science Monitor</p>
<p><q>From <persName type="last" ref="#Gary">Graffman</persName> comes a dazzling flame that seems almost to create the original acts of composition...the playing is masterly, on a level of virtuosity that not many could match...listeners should be swept off their feet by such brillant pianism</q>...New York Times</p>
<p><q>His prestidigitation was almost beyond belief. He made it clear that he was not only a virtuoso of the first order but also an extremely sincere and sensitive musician</q>...London Times</p>
